And yet .. Every lefty on Every forum will deny it's happening.
(Or ignore it)

The MSM will ignore it and Nancy Pelosi will continue to claim that "There is nowhere else to cut"!

Quote
One federal employee leased a $53,000 take-home car with taxpayer money in apparent defiance of federal regulations and regularly billed the government for service at shops such as BMW of Fairfax.

Others charged the government monthly for family members’ cell phones and high-end TV packages and Internet at home — and even at second homes. Managers freely made out checks to employees without requiring documentation of how it would be spent, giving $1,316 directly to one who said she was reimbursing herself for furniture she bought for a “home office” and using convenience checks to give workers bonuses.

Government employees used federal purchase cards to order items such as a $560 Bose stereo and $1,490 for two high-definition televisions that could not be located.

All of these examples happened at the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, an obscure runaway government agency where the median annual salary is $120,000.

I just checked my Pocket Constitution (hat tip to the Heritage Foundation). I can't find "mediation and conciliation" anywhere in it.

I did find an indirect reference in the Declaration of Independence- He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Pitchforks and torches, my friends. Pitchforks and torches.

This just solidifies my lack of sympathy for the 800K that were furloughed.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
